SALT LAKE CITY on A BOOM

al OAtCh0 lndG tHe ITSG OF last month
their stock was SO depleted, and their
factory so crowded with orders that it
seemed impossible for them to restock
their Branch House in this CITY; but
through the strenuous exertions of ] B.
Glass, the manager of this department,
1t has been enabled to secure some ten
car loads or bran new wagons and car
rlages. These have just been received
into stock, and among this finely as
sorted lot of work our reporter noticed
very handsome Six Passenger, EXten-
sion Top Carriage, built expressly for
this mountain country; next to it stood
e ,Gentleman's Road Wagon, built for
pole team--but the little Wagon only
weighs one hundred and ten pounds;
then comes a fine Buckeye Surrey,
a new style of Surrey wagon, gotten up
expressly for this branch house, to
meet the great demand they have had
Tor strong, light, short-coupled wagon.
suitable for one horse or two, as the
case may be. This wagon has concave
sides with medaliions, round-seornered
stake seats, set with medallio4 ;; it has
also handsome lamps, painted with the
very latest style of colors. ANY person
wishing one of these Surveys, cannot
fail to be pleased with 1t at first sight.
The most unique thing that we no
tlced in the carriage rooms, was wagon
that they call Jack Rabbit dog-cart.
This can only be appreciated by seeing
1T. 1t is the oldest and newest thing
that ever came to this Territory.
1t was gotten up a little on the buck
board principle, with double reversible
seats, and just such a wagon as sports
men need for hunting There is an
apartment tor carrying dogs and
another for placing small game. Then
we noticed the Gladstone and Premier
wagons. These are indeed grand de-
vice, such as no other house in the west
can afford to introduce into this trade.
The fact IS, that no manufacturing com
pany could introduce this line of fine
Work SO far from home unless it was IN
der its immediate control as a branch
house. This is where the Studebakers
excel. They manufacture all of these
jobs themselves, and have gotten past
the date in their life where an induce
ment can be made them to
get up cheap article for
the sake of making money out
OF it. Their pride now is to maintain
their great name as one of the manu-
facturers of fine and elegant work. The
quality must be sustained at all haz
ards, and when you purchase from this
house and they recommend the goods
TO you, you can always rely upon them
being just as stated. They cannot af-
ford to handle cheap or snide work. or |
tashy goods, as 1t would injure their |
standing on their own manufactures. |
Che branch house, however. keeps a |
line OF cheap buggies known as the |
Quaker City Buggy, which they have
manufactured to their special order, |
built especially for this climate and
mountain country. These buggies are
that is sold in Salt Lake City, and, be
fore buying elsewhere, we believe it
would be to your advantage to call into |
the Studebaker Bros Branch House
and examine this line of bug |
gies, which you can buy all |
the way from 500 up. Then they
have an intermediate grade of buggy, |
called their special buggy, which IL of |
their own manufacture, and which is |
built especially for this trade. These |
buggies are strong in all their parts, |
and gotten up in suitable designs, and |
built entirely for strength and comfort.
Then they handle the Frazier Road |
Cart. This cart IS the most celebrated |
cart in existence at this day. Mr.. |
Frazier himself is largely engaged in
the raising of blooded stock. and it was
this line of business that brought 10 his |
mind the fact that no cart that was |
then in use was suitable for the training |
and exercising of fast horses. He then got !
out and patented the Frazier Exercising |
aud Training Carts and Sulkies, and |
the Studebaker Branch have control |
of all the western country, embracing |
all the territories and states west of |
Denver to the Pacific, on these carts.
The harness department in this house |
is something to be wondered at, as they |
have always made a specially of all !
grades of harness, team, buggy and |
carriage harness, ranging in price from |
$40 up to $3.50. that is for a set Of Car
rage harness.
In their carriage department. we |
might say that on the main fl JOr they |
carry sixty styles of buggles and car
riages, no two of which are alike. On |
the third floor they carry about the
same number OF spring wagons. all
styles, such as farmers, grocery mn,
or business men would use. In this de-
partment they simply excel an0thing |
that is in the country, as the Stude-
baker works have now department |
called the SPECIAL ORDER DE-
PARFMENT, in which all these
spring wagons are built almost |
entirely by hand, that is, the
principal parts are formed by ma
chinery, but the welding and fitting is |
ali done by the blacksmith. This de-
partment has become very popular; so |
much so that last year the capacity had |
to be doubled. 1t is worth the While OF |
our subscribers to call in and examine |
these spring wagons, and see the |
numerous and different stvles, and the !
many new Improvements in convent
ence recently introduced for this trade |
The farm wagon dep lrtment of this |
extensive house is very large, and oom-
prises a very extensive and finely |
assorted stock of all sizes and STYLES
of wagons, from the ~ inch farm |
wagon to- the 4-inch freight wagon;
from the little handy JOB wagon |
all the way through to the heaviest ex-
press aud truck wagon. To understand !
this department one must see it aud eX
anime the goods for themselves; other !
wise it would be impossible Tor US to go |
into deIail to describe the numerous |
styles in this department, which num-
Der something like seventv-6ve, all |
different from each other. In this de-
partment you will also find the cele-
